REGEX Date Validation with 3-Week Fallback - n8n Workflow | Neura Market
REGEX Date Validation with 3-Week Fallback
Checks 'Close Date' using REGEX for YYYY-MM-DD format. If valid, passes it; else, sets date to 3 weeks from now. Ideal for ensuring reliable date handling in automations.
This n8n workflow demonstrates practical REGEX usage in an IF node to validate a 'Close Date' field. Starting with a Manual Trigger, it sets an initial date value. The core IF node tests if the Close Date matches the pattern /\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/i (case-insensitive YYYY-MM-DD). If matched, it routes to 'Set Close Date To Original', preserving the value. If not, it generates a fallback date three weeks ahead using JavaScript's Date API: new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + 21)).toISO
